[PATCH V3 0/5] ocxl: Mmio invalidation support

OpenCAPI 4.0/5.0 with TLBI/SLBI Snooping, is not used due to performance
problems caused by the PAU having to process all incoming TLBI/SLBI
commands which will cause them to back up on the PowerBus.

When the Address Translation Mode requires TLB operations to be initiated
using MMIO registers, a set of registers like the following is used:
• XTS MMIO ATSD0 LPARID register
• XTS MMIO ATSD0 AVA register
• XTS MMIO ATSD0 launch register, write access initiates a shoot down
• XTS MMIO ATSD0 status register

The MMIO based mechanism also blocks the NPU/PAU from snooping TLBIE
commands from the PowerBus.

The Shootdown commands (ATSD) will be generated using MMIO registers
in the NPU/PAU and sent to the device.
